Giants Could Form Deadly Defensive Line Duo With This 1st-Round Draft Pick | Trading Down?

[@firesidegiants]

You guys rock with the new recording setup?🤔🔥

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

We are Giants fans. We love defense. That’s our identity.

[@MrBruceWolf]

This. After QB, the most important part of the team is the defensive front.

[@JeffreyPadden]

Love this idea. Not at all convinced either of these qb are worth the #3 pick.

[@Ty91681]

They absolutely are not. They'd have been ranked behind the 5th QB picked last year. Late round one of round 2 in nearly any other season .

[@bearr3156]

I agree I think cam ward the only one I'd draft at 3 skip Sanders, get hunter or mason or a tackle

[@daveydohrman2241]

Graham or Carter would make the Giants Defense so so so scary … as long as they address CB & Safety in FA

[@Ty91681]

Lol one guy isn't gonna make that pitiful defense any better. Especially not at lb or secondary. I don't mind drafting a dt but I'm not taking one in round one. Id take a corner before I did that in round one.

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

The defense isn’t pitiful, it’s just not good. Carter or Graham could make the difference that. KT didn’t. But the other commenter is right, we need a CB1, but hopefully in free agency.

[@lucaseureka2998]

We in the best spot

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

CB and O Line😀

[@kubixxx1]

Take Carter!

[@OTKP]

love Mason he is a beast...not at #3 though and certainly not over Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter who gives you more versatility also Defensive Tackle will be Deep this draft: his teammate Kenneth Grant, Deone Walker, TJ Sanders, Walter Nolan, Ty Williams, Alfred Collins, Derrick Harmon... so you can get the Defensive Tackle later

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

Too many analysts don’t think much of the 2 top quarterbacks. I love the idea of Graham or Carter in the 1sr and a developmental QB in the 2hd . Even a tackle in 2 if we gat a good free agent bridge and cb in free agency.

[@davidriedy5977]

if a QB falls to us at 3 I think they're taking one regardless though

[@jasononeil7970]

Justin fields

[@rickpolidore5054]

With the third pick unless we trade down we should draft either Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Johnson or Mason Graham…

[@rodericklewis5600]

I rather for the Giants to draft Abdul Carter than Graham

[@justinmaxwell86]

People won’t like what I have to say but if we have the chance to draft Abdul carter (even with kt, burns), we do it. Then second round grab drone walker from Kentucky. Lastly, we run a 4-3 and stop this 2-4-5 bs. If we do a 3-4, I’m trading DOWN and drafting Nic Scourton, and then Deone walker. Nic-walker-dex as a the guys up front would be a pain in the ass to deal with

[@districtoutlaw3907]

Trade down and accumulate more draft picks. We need to get back to playing Giants football and that includes building up the trenches!!

[@riggz46]

Abdul Carter with pick 3 i don't care if Cam or Sanders available. But u make a great argument with Mason. And I like picking up Jaxon Dart on the 2nd and beefing up both lines

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

Everybody talks about building from the trenches but somehow it never seems to happen. I like trading down and picking up Carter or Graham. I also like the idea of a 2nd rd QB with potential to develop as long as we have a solid bridge. Tackle and a cb have to be addressed in the 3rd and free agency. It sounds too easy doesn’t it?

[@TrollKing2781]

Go check Darts stats in close games & 4th quarters.

[@MrBruceWolf]

​@JohnFerraro-l9b I love Carter or Graham in round 1 because you're looking for foundational pieces in the top 5. Other than rolling the dice on a day two QB, drafting to fill holes is how you get drafts like 22 and 23. We have holes everywhere, so bpa should apply more to the Giants than most teams with the exception of TE and RB.

[@TrollKing2781]

@@MrBruceWolf I'm good with Carter, Hunter or Graham. Ward & Sanders are scary picks at 3. Giants can't afford to throw away another 1st round pick. Especially a top 5 pick.

[@MrBruceWolf]

@@TrollKing2781 My hesitation with Hunter is would everyone be calling him the best player in the draft if he only.played one side of the ball in college? Is he a Surtain caliber corner? I've seen several scouts say he would not be the top WR in this draft. I think the priority is to get whatever guy you see with the best chance tonbe an All Pro level player. I've seen enough of Carter and Graham to like their chances, seem enough of Ward and Sanders to say hell no, and I've yet to do any digging on the top OLs or the CB from Michigan.

[@30cornerback]

I would trade KT for whatever you can get and take Carter at 4

[@TrollKing2781]

Why do you have to trade KT. That's foolish.

[@30cornerback]

@TrollKing2781 have you seen him do anything worthwhile for the Giants,he's all bark and no bite and he his bark isn't all that intimidating either

[@TrollKing2781]

​@@30cornerback Definitely not defending KT. This is exactly what I thought he would be in the NFL. Average player. But you saw the pass rush the first 7-8 weeks when KT & Azeez were healthy. #1 in the NFL in sacks. I definitely wouldn't trade KT. Unless you're getting at least a 2nd which I seriously doubt.

[@krazyfan2000]

I'm going after Carter if I had to choose between those 2

[@carlhaskins1156]

Absolutely! We need a strong identity, and Graham and Carter are far better prospects than Ward or Sanders. Honestly, it feels like we dodged a bullet by not landing one of the top two picks. Hunter is a solid choice, but he won’t impact the defense nearly as much as Graham or Carter would!

[@CirusTDD]

Other than Travis Hunter Abdul Carter is the best defensive player in the draft

[@TrollKing2781]

Possibly.

[@sherm50599]

Great idea, Anthony!

[@Chips1225]

Abdul Carter!!

[@danielrutstein2316]

Similar thought process, if I’m signing one marquee FA, I don’t want CB or WR, give me Eagles DT Milton Williams. You’re getting one of the most underrated players in the NFL this year, making the Eagles weaker in the trenches, and giving the Giants a true team identity as a dominant, overwhelming defensive line. You could even draft Abdul Carter and have the best defensive line in the league

[@eddievazquez1907]

Want Mason Graham myself if the QBs are gone. We need to stop the run and generate pass rush. Him and Dex would be amazing.

[@davidjervasi1018]

Abdul Carter would be a smarter pick. But Schoen won't do it bc it would be admitting Kayvon is not good enough on the edge. The giants situation is hopeless for as long as Schoen is driving the ship guys.

[@TrollKing2781]

He's afraid to draft players at positions he missed on. Which is pretty much every position.

[@davidriedy5977]

yeah that's one reason I don't see Schoen going Carter, even if both QBs are off the board

[@PeterMacLeod-s3v]

I think what is more important is a very good Cornerback rather than a very good Defensive Lineman, plus Hunter can at times be a very good wide receiver. Two different positions from one player, offensive and defensive vs one defensive player.

[@Mochasin]

This is genuinely where i have been leaning for the draft go DL, get a guy like xavier watts or the sc safety whos name i cant spell

[@rawbrob1079]

If the Giants can get a starting QB in free agency I'm definitely down with drafting Mason.

[@Chrriss2000]

If who we want not their when we pick, I would probably move back in get another first round pick next year.

[@TrollKing2781]

Need a partner willing to dance.

[@Chrriss2000]

@ I’m sure it will be teams , want info to move up in the draft

[@stevetaibi320]

Dream scenario - Giants and Jags swap pick (#3 for #5) and Jags throw in their 3rd round pick (jags have 2 picks in round 3) and Giants take Graham at 5 overall. Him and Sexy Dex would be insane and setup us up for absolute dominance on the D-line plus help out our weak secondary.

[@WIllyEnHenry]

Well if we have to go Defense We can Still Trade back Up To First and Grab Jaxon Dart or Millroe

[@techierg1862]

There is Abdul carter

[@riccocotto1514]

I wouldnt mind if we traded down and took a dt but i think we need a CB more than a dt imo if grahm and will johnson on the board im taking will johnson

[@kandyman2705]

Think I’d trade down then use extra picks to trade back into 1r to get Dart because I don’t think he’ll last until 2nd r

[@geraldfilsaime9249]

I like the idea of trading down. My question is, which option improves the defense the most? Defensive line with Mason or defensive backs with Will Johnson?

[@anthonycherry9939]

Train down to get the defensive tackles not a bad idea at all I just hate to miss out on Carter because just as well as we can pair up Mason with Dexter we can pair up Carter with Burns

[@Supermed]

Take Graham if you get a high projected first (or firsts) for next year, solidify the def and fill out your roster, find a stop gap QB (Fields, Cousins, Jameis, Dart), then go all-in for next years QBs class.

[@rjcam]

GIANTS can never have too many Defensive Giants, We do however need one more receiver, and O-Line help

[@MountPleasant171]

This idea is fire 👑🕶️💫!!!

[@shawnlee9454]

Definitely have to grab Travis if the 2 QBs are gone. You have a day 1 starter at CB and a true #2 WR in special packages. No Brainer

[@coolphil881]

Also a tackle that hasn’t given up a sack over two years in this draft and a receiver/corner from Colorado

[@richardcarter8521]

I’d love to finally be able to get a jersey with my last name.

[@dasekoncummin1]

if we go 43 defense graham and dex inside are unstoppable then we can go speed rush on 2nd and long or 3rd and long but we cant pass up on hunter thats all i can say

[@emirkuzbari2352]

And Walker can match up with Philly pigeons O line. Maybe double dip

[@TonydaGM]

Giants need to trade down and add a ton of picks

[@JohnFerraro-l9b]

with the right deals I would trade down in every round. As long as we can still get Graham or Carter and a good shot at a developmental QB with potential in 2.

[@TonydaGM]

@JohnFerraro-l9b this draft doesn't have a QB, spend a 3rd-4th on Green or a 5th on Shough

[@michaelmeenan5522]

Welcome to the club. You guys were pining for a QB. Must've heard the voice of reason. Been saying this since before the season ended - Draft Mason Graham and pair him with Dex.

[@derikchess]

We need to score points! Hunter + Nabers 🔥🏈

[@JJJJ-lz1vv]

How can one person be so consistently wrong? Ask Anthony.

[@tonybravado8231]

What great WR did Travis Hunter play against and shut down? Who’s the best team Colorado played against this year?

[@stoutomire]

Depending if we get a solid quality starter at the QB position during free agency and depending if by chance Shedeur Sanders falls to us in the draft then I would trade back with the Raiders at 6th spot and draft Mason Graham plus get Las Vegas first round next plus additional draft capital. In the second round I would draft the best available LT prospect like Josh Simmons to develop just in case Andrew Thomas gets injured again (he also play on the right side so we’ll get a nice swing tackle). But if The Giants stay at number 3 spot then we should draft Abdul Carter then select Kenneth Graham in the 2nd (may have to trade back into the late first round) who’s a dominant run stuffer DT that also has some pass rush (has a lot power and nimble feet for man his size). Really reminds me of Dexter Lawrence coming out of college. Imagine having Carter and Graham in our D-Line. It would instantaneously improve both our run defense and pass rush efficiency. Just my thoughts.

[@TheSeraphNetwork]

Finally, people are coming to MY way of thinking. You don't build around the QB. You build around your ELITE PLAYERS. Period. How can you have DEXTER LAWRENCE and NOT BUILD AROUND HIM?? I like the thought process here a lot. Mason Graham would be great. If we can trade back and get him, that would be great.

[@KcLegit]

I would much rather have the Giants built from the inside out, addressing the o line and the D line and build this team the right way. Forget about corners Wide receivers, Tight ends Running backs, etc… Build , the trenches build his foundation then go from there. But knowing the Giants, they’re gonna draft out of need and fuck this whole thing up

[@JohnSmith-ds1fm]

ABDUL CARTER period

[@thedowntownmovielounge]

I want Graham badly. But it will be hard to pass on Travis Hunter. Deone Walker in the second round would be amazing.

[@paulmorello2685]

Trade to #6 should net a #2 +. Top 6 blue chip picks = 2 QBs, 2 CBs, 1 DT, 1ER

[@tedmichaels1951]

Get a disrupter on defense…Abdul Carter! KT should be trade material

[@anthonycherry9939]

Can we get someone similar to Mason Graham that can stop the run and Rush the quarterback the same way he doesn't have to be as good as him but I'm sure there's more than one that can do that in this draft isn't it

[@MrKnight960]

If both qbs are off the board, I would say address the D or O lines.

[@josevaldez1660]

Another embarrassment, we get to watch another great talent at quarterback BO NIX , what was my first round pick last year, what an amazing quarterback class, you’d be happy with any of the top 6

[@mathewsherreard487]

The vast majority of the fans want Schoen head. Like yesterday.! If he misses out on the QB’s there ain’t a snowballs chance in hell he is passing over Hunter. The guy’s job and more importantly reputation within the NFL is on the line. This is neither the time or the spot too get fancy.

[@jasononeil7970]

If we trade up in the draft we’ll end up like Carolina regretting it

[@charleslongwell645]

I would prefer a 3rd round pick and Will Johnson. Then use that 3rd round pick with pick #34 to move back in to the 1st round for a QB. Then draft Alfred Collins DT from Texas in the 3rd round.

[@brianjaegers1094]

Operation help Dexter. We passed on better QBs last year to take the best player, let's do it again. Pay a bridge Qb. We need sustained success.

[@TrollKing2781]

If Dex doesn't request a trade this off-season. He probably will by next season. Gonna need his replacement in place.

[@keithschott8546]

I like the Graham idea, but would prefer they get BJ Hill in free agency and take Hunter if he's there.

[@Harar99]

My thought process is sign a bridge quarterback ( ie Justin fields, Jamison Winston, etc). Draft BPA ( ie travis hunter, Dl, ). Draft quarterback in later rounds ( or trade up to back end of first)

[@Harar99]

I mean Edge Rusher not Dl

[@Stoned.stonerrr]

Graham or Carter at 3 and Jahdae Barron Texas CB 2nd round and sign fields. Unless you trading back into the 1st you not getting a 5th year on a Qb

[@marlymarlle]

The offensive line is the priority

When you have a GM who is 0 for 4 in the draft picking Olinemen. His priority is signing free agents. Only reason the Oline improved in 2024.

I've been saying Graham is the best choice even at 3. I like Hunter but honestly his off the field attention with his girl and fans worry me, once he doesn't have Deion fathering him anymore.

@ I would consider a trade down only if the player is not a generational/HOF potential talent like Hunter. But I don’t see how you can pass on getting a player like that to trade down & get a potential pro bowl DT in Graham. Hunter can instantly become our CB1 & change the entire scope of our secondary. That’s just too hard to pass up man.
